Abstract

A 2017 ProQuest study asked researchers to identify the kinds of sources
they used in their research, with the objective to better understand what
sources of information are being used in research. The results showed that while traditional peer-reviewed journal
content remains a staple resource, researchers increasingly rely on using a mix
of content types and students are being encouraged to consult a breadth of
resources including ebooks, dissertations, video, newspapers and more.

Now in 2018, ProQuest is expanding the research to reveal the latest trends
in use of content types and how this differs across subjects, geographical
regions, and level of study.

The paper was presented by Agnieszka Studencka and Krassimira Anguelova.
